Perbak Capital Winds Down $1.1 Billion Hedge Fund After Asset Growth Falls Short
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 14
Perbak Capital Partners is shutting its hedge fund business after concluding it lacked enough asset growth to sustain a significant financial buffer.
About $1.1 billion was managed across the UK-based firm's operations, including capital from backer Schonfeld Strategic Advisors, according to people familiar with the matter.
Perbak ran two short-focused equity funds, making the closure another sign of pressure on smaller hedge fund platforms that fail to scale assets.

As hedge funds like Perbak close, could AI-driven strategies truly revive active management, or are rising costs and passive funds too powerful to overcome?
With the UK's new short selling regime launching soon, how might hedge fund strategies and investor risks shift in this changing regulatory landscape?
